A dental bone graft is a surgical procedure that rebuilds lost jawbone volume and density, creating a stable foundation for dental implants. It is needed when bone has been lost due to tooth extraction, gum disease, or long-term denture use. Dr. Naser performs bone grafts in-house — no referrals, no separate office, no coordination delays.
When a tooth is lost or extracted, the jawbone beneath it begins to shrink. Over time, this bone loss can leave the area unsuitable for a dental implant — there simply isn't enough structure to anchor the titanium post securely.
A bone graft rebuilds that lost volume. Grafting material is placed at the site, stimulating your body to grow new, natural bone over the following months. Once healed, the area is ready to support a dental implant with full strength.
Dr. Naser performs all bone grafting in-house. No referrals to outside oral surgeons. No coordinating between two offices. Your entire treatment — from graft to final crown — happens right here in Woodridge.
Dr. Naser determines the appropriate graft type at your free consultation based on 3D imaging of your specific anatomy.
Placed immediately after a tooth extraction to prevent bone loss before it starts. Ideal if you know you want an implant in the future — it dramatically reduces the amount of grafting needed later.
Rebuilds jawbone volume after significant bone loss at an existing gap site. Used when a tooth has been missing for months or years and the bone has already resorbed. Restores the ridge to implant-ready dimensions.
A specialized procedure for the upper jaw where the sinus sits too low for standard implant placement. Bone is added between the jaw and sinus floor to create vertical height for implants. Performed in-house by Dr. Naser. → Learn more
For cases requiring larger amounts of bone volume. A block of bone (typically from your own jaw or chin) is secured to the deficient area with small titanium screws and allowed to fully integrate before implant placement proceeds.
Dr. Naser takes a cone beam CT at no charge. This gives a precise 3D view of your bone volume and density — so the right graft type is chosen for your anatomy.
Performed under local anesthesia or sedation. Grafting material is positioned at the implant site and covered with a protective membrane. Typically takes 30–60 minutes.
Your body gradually replaces the graft with living bone tissue. Follow-up visits allow Dr. Naser to monitor your progress with 3D imaging.
Once healing is confirmed, your dental implant is placed into the newly strengthened bone — just like a standard implant procedure. From there, your journey to a permanent smile continues.
Bone grafting has a reputation for being intimidating — the reality is far more manageable for most patients.
